USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Functionality
Convection oven cooking
Using circulating air, the convection oven cooks food quickly, efficiently and uses
much less energy than conventional cooking methods. The convection oven can
cook on more than one level, so dishes that normally require multiple pots and
pans to wash will be simpler, and much easier to clean.
The hot air method of cooking ensures an even distribution of heat around the
food. One of the effects of this is that the surface of food such as meat is quickly
sealed, allowing it to retain the succulence of its original flavour.
Thawing Food
The convection oven will thaw most foods. Simply place onto one of the wire
racks, set the thermostat to thaw and allow approximately 40 minutes per kg.
Large items like meat joins should be turned at least once during the thawing
process.
Note: Any liquids or juices from thawed food should be thoroughly cleaned
from the bowl before cooking.
Cooking with the extension ring
The extension ring is perfect when you need to cook something of a larger size,
such as a whole chicken. Place the extension ring on the top of the bowl, to
make the bowl bigger and give it the extra volume needed for cooking. When
using the extension ring, it’s possible to cook several dishes at once.

Using your appliance - Safety handle
The convection oven will not work unless the safety handle is fully
clicked into the down position. To do this press the safety button on
the handle to lower into place. If you need to remove the lid during the
cooking process, lifting the safety handle will stop the heater and the
turbo fan while you attend to the dish. Simply replace the lid and place
the safety handle in the down position to resume cooking.
Thermostat
Sets the cooking temperature from 65oC to 250oC.
Timer
The timer dial is marked in minutes and has a reminder bell, which
sounds when the cooking time is completed.
Tips
• If possible pre-heat the oven for 3 minutes before using.
• Always place food on the rack to ensure good air circulation.
• Leave at least 1cm gap between items on the same rack. Again this ensures
good air circulation.
• When food is cooked it can be kept hot by turning the thermostat down
to 150
o
C until ready to serve.

Operating your appliance for the rst time
When you are ready to use the appliance, be sure that the timer controls are
in the “off” position and unplugged. We recommend a trial run to familiarise
yourself with your appliance and to eliminate any problem substances or oil that
may have been used for packaging and shipping.
Plug the cord into a 220-240 volt AC outlet. Set the timer control to
10 minutes and set the temperature control to 100oC.
A small amount of smoke and odour may be detected. This is normal. To avoid
scratching, marring, discolouration or fire hazard, do not store anything on top
of the oven, especially during operation.
Operating your appliance
1. Prepare the bowl. While cooking the surface of the bowl will be
considerably hot, be sure to place the appliance on a heatproof surface.
2. Place the rack in the bowl and place food in the centre of the rack to receive
best air circulation. Allow 1cm space between the food and bowl.
3. Cover the bowl with the lid. Ensure it is sealed correctly.
4. Plug the cord into wall outlet.
5. Turn the thermostat to to the desired temperature.
6. Set the timer using the reference table as a guide. Push handle back to
start. The red and green indicator lights will go on to indicate that cooking
has started.
7. The convection oven will automatically shut off when cooking time has been
reached.
8. When roasting, line the bottom of the bowl with foil to catch any drippings.

Cakes
• Pre-heat the oven to 220-230oC for 3 minutes.
• When selecting an appropriate cake tin to use, be sure that it will fit
comfortably in the bowl. Always place the cake tin on the low rack-never
directly onto the bottom of the bowl.
• When using the recipes from else where, deduct 10oC from the
recommended cooking temperature.
• Cooking time depends entirely upon the size of cake you are making but it is
easy to monitor its progress with the see-through glass bowl.
Biscuits and pastries
• Take a suitable pan and lightly grease it.
• Place it on the low rack.
• The best temperature for biscuits and pastries is 220 - 230 C.
• Cooking times will vary depending on the chosen recipe, the approx. time is
generally 12 -15 minutes.
Pies
• For pre-cooked chilled pies, simple place on a high rack for 8 - 12 minutes
at 220C.
• For frozen/uncooked pies, use the same position and temperature and
increase the temperature, depending on the size and content of the pie.
Bread rolls
• To reheat fresh bread rolls, wrap each roll with foil, place on the low rack
and heat at 200oC for 5-7 minutes.
• If the rolls are a few days old they can be brushed with a little milk, placing
them on the high rack and heating for 6-9 minutes at 180oC.

Frozen food
• Large items like meat joints or poultry cannot be cooked from frozen and
must be thawed thoroughly first, however, some foods cook best from
frozen.
• Simply follow the cooking instructions on the packaging as a guideline.
• Due to the efficient nature of the convection oven, the cooking time for
frozen products is often shorter than that of a conventional oven.
Grilling
• As with toasting, items to be grilled should be placed on the high rack and
should be between 220-240oC. When deciding the best temperature
setting to use, consider the thickness of the food.
• A 3cm thick steak would require a lower temperature and longer cooking
time than a 1cm thick steak. Also remember that frozen food like burgers
need a longer cooking time.
• You may wish to turn the food halfway through the grilling process to ensure
even colouring.
Baking
• The temperature for the cooking of uncovered dishes is usually 20 to 40oC
lower than in the traditional oven.
• No pre-heating is necessary in the convection oven when baking. Often, the
centre of the cake batter will take longer to cook than the section closest to
the rim.
• Therefore a bunt cake pan or tube pan is recommended for use, rather than
a larger layered cake pan.

Grilling and broiling
• For broiling or grilling with a convection oven, the temperature should be set
between 220-250oC.
• No pre-heating is necessary in convection oven when baking. Food should
be placed on the rack without covering.
• To bring the food closer to source of the heating air, the high rack should be
used.
• Add hickory liquid smoke or mesquite to get a smoky flavour.
• Any seasoning should be applied to the surface of the meat.
• If the fish or meat is lean, spray the rack or grill with non-stick vegetable oil,
or brush with cooking oil prior to arranging the fish/ meat on the grill.
• This will minimize food sticking to the grill.
• For browner or more seared surfaces, broil on both sides as with thick
stocks or steaks.
• For thinner pieces, no turning is necessary.

Roasting
• Lining the bottom of the bowl with foil will help to catch any drippings from
the roast.
• Use a low rack to let hot air circulate freely.
• The propelled hot air of the convection oven cooks meat evenly and seals in
any juices. A meat thermometer is recommended.
• Without a meat thermometer, follow the time temperature table included in
the booklet, or follow a chart given for a regular oven and simply subtract
25oC.
Roast whole chicken
• Rinse chicken thoroughly and add desired seasoning.
• Spices such as garlic, black pepper and salt are suggested.
• Before roasting, allow seasoning to penetrate for a few hours.
• The base of the bowl can be lined with aluminium foil to catch drippings.
• Roast for approximately 30 minutes per 1kg at 200oC.
Whole roasts
• With the fatty portion facing upward put meat directly on low rack.
• Put seasoning to your tastes. Insert meat thermometer.
• Temperature for roasting is usually 25oC less than for regular or
conventional roasting.
• Cooking time depends on type and size of roast.
Note: the process of cooking and cooking time may vary, depending on depth
and size of mixture or preparing dish.
